RSR 2014 NFL Mock Draft - Picks Thread

This thread is SOLELY to post picks. Discussion can take place in the other thread. With that being said, the 2014 RSR 2014 NFL Mock Draft is now open. HoustonRaven and the Houston Texans are on the clock.

Just my $.02 but I think it should be one thread. Bouncing between threads just to read commentary seems awkward .....

Pick coming shortly ....

It is. I remember last year it sucked, but the year before that we did one and it was really hard to track all of the picks to see who picked who and who was available. Last year seemed to work better than the year before

Not to keep cluttering this up, but probably a good idea to link the discussion thread in the first post, so people can click over there.

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.

Goodell walks out to a chorus of boos from the ever so classy numerous Jets fans that invade Radio City Music Hall ....

Roger: "Good evening and welcome to the 2014 NFL Draft. The Texans are on the clock"

... Scene cuts to Rick Smith furiously shuffling papers while on his cell phone and looking at emails from a 2nd iPhone. What most folks outside of Houston don't know is that he's really on a sex chat line, sending sext's to his 20 yr old side piece, all the while looking for that post-it note that Bob McNair left on his desk, telling him who to pick. Unable to locate the post-it, Smith hands in the teams selection, hoping he got it right ....

Roger: "With the first pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans select, Blake Bortels, Quarterback, University of Central Florida"

ESPN cuts to Johnny Football's house where he's seen punching his pet cat in the face on live TV. Network cuts to a quick commercial ...

Ok, now in all seriousness, I think the Texans do trade back a little as to not draft Bortles with their number one pick. But since we're not doing trades here, I went with who I think they pick when they trade back to about 5th or so.

Johnny Football pissed off a lot of people in Houston this last season. He was never going to look bad in the mind of Aggie fans, but to everyone else, including the higher ups in the Texans organization, he showed his true colors this past year with all of his boorish, frat boy antics.

McNair wants a winner, but he wants to do it with class. He's old school like that and doesn't feel, IMO, that Manziel fits the bill. He will pass up a guaranteed seat filler in Manziel to get someone who is more in line with his image of what a QB ought to be -- big, tall, great arm and a good dude off the field. He's a project. No doubt about it. But with Keenum and Fitzpatrick acting as mentors, he will be ready late third of the season at the earliest.

With the second pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select, Teddy Bridgewater, Quarterback, University of Louisville.

Unlike GM Les Sneed and coach Jeff Fisher, I’d rather protect my job than protect my credibility. Bradford is not the answer, so I’m bringing in a guy who I think will be the answer for the next 10-15 years.

Re: RSR 2014 NFL Mock Draft - Picks Thread

if im protecting my job, im either giving Bradford some protection or a better set of WRs. Starting anew would lead me to think the FO is already out the door. I see them taking a QB but not at #2.

yeah, i'm probably not going to have a backup QB with a $17 million cap hit. If he can't improve with Sammy Watkins, or a combo of Greg Robinson and Mike Evans, then I'll cut him next year when you can save $13 million with only $3 million in dead money
